On @businessdesk_nz this morning, I've gotten into the weeds of the CRL timetable troubles revealed during a January test. AT says congestion on the southern line can lead to faults which ripple through the network - challenging the train frequency on the Western.

New Zealand's energy minister is no longer named Watts. This is a tragedy for the nation's wordplay enthusiasts.

RESHUFFLE: Simeon Brown is getting the energy portfolio from Watts. Chris Penk enters Cabinet with Defence and Space. Penny Simmonds also enters Cabinet. Chris Bishop loses associate sport and leader of the house.

Interesting scoop. It's been clear that Cabinet ministers have had critical minerals on the mind for some time now - Collins started speaking of minerals in the EEZ early '25 - but that such an arrangement is in the works with the US is a step further than I'd anticipated.

New Zealand is in talks with the United States over a critical minerals framework, with the Herald understanding an announcement is being worked towards for the near-future. Concerns over a potential agreement were raised with the Waitangi Tribunal this week.

The Detail is back on Monday. You don't have to wait for it to be played on RNZ ... any podcast platform will do the trick. Your efforts to keep 4.5 journalists gainfully employed this year is truly appreciated.

Here’s something about the NZ India FTA few are paying attention to. A clause in the deal apparently allows trade concessions to be rolled back if the US$20b investment from NZ to India doesn’t eventuate. Read it on @businessdesk_nz: businessdesk.co.nz/article/politi…

@black13830 @SamSachdevaNZ is Luxon really in that photo or is it AI? It looks off like the FTA #nzpol #nzpolitics

Yeah, inexperienced-man has bowed to them.
"By backing the deal regardless of its outcomes for our own dairy sector, the Government has in a sense broken with the hard line taken by successive National and Labour administrations."

One Indian media outlet is reporting Modi and his Cabinet has signed off on a trade deal with NZ - does this mean Luxon and McClay will get the Christmas present they were after?👀 business-standard.com/economy/news/c…

For many Kiwis, Saturday's record-breaking $55 million Powerball jackpot was an opportunity to dream big - but the Govt is after a financial windfall of its own, with ministers starting tentative discussions about a privatisation of Lotto. More @NewsroomNZ below:
